Jack Parrish

All of us in the Richmond Theatre community were saddened to learn of today's passing of Jack Parrish, longtime Richmond actor, director, and friend. Jack fought a lengthy battle with cancer, and reportedly went into hospice very recently and died this afternoon. He will be missed.

Tonight at 8:30, Richmond Shakespeare and CenterStage dimmed the big marquee at 6th & Grace and dedicated this evening's performance to Jack. It was quite a sight. We heard, via Facebook, that Sycamore Rouge gave Jack a special intermission curtain call. We're sure that other tributes will surely follow, and will pass on any related info as it comes available. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kathy and Clay Parrish--I and many others are holding you in mind and heart tonight.
